Opphavsrett er en del av immaterialretten og er et rettsområde som er stadig aktuell for utviklere, brukere, leverandører og kunder. Opphavsretten preges av en avveining av hensyn til skapere av verk og hensyn til den vitenskapelige, kulturelle, tekniske (og annen) utvikling.
Hva vernes av opphavsretten? Hvem kan få opphavsrett? Hva er forskjell mellom verk og eksemplar? Hvorfor er det lettere å oppnå vern for dårlig og rotete programkode enn god og ideell programkode?
Foredraget sikter på å gi deltakere en oversikt over de grunnleggende konseptene og prinsippene i norsk opphavsrett samt presentere enkelte regler som kan være aktuelle for forsamlingen.
Kirill Miazine er advokatfullmektig i IKT og Media-team i FØYEN Advokatfirma DA. Han jobber primært med kontraktsrettslige og immaterialrettslige spørsmål.https://frikanalen.no/video/624014/3774DebConf17 - Debconf 16Overview of DebConf17 in Montreal.

Then I'd like to show what GNU/kFreeBSD's users are doing with it. I'll describe some use cases in more detail: using free software in place of proprietary appliances, which could apply to Debian and ZFS more generally. And we even have a downstream distribution now, so we'll see how that's been a useful collaboration already.

TED talk downloaded from The Internet Archive.https://frikanalen.no/video/625461/543Software Heritage: Building the Universal Software Archive - Debconf 16In the past few decades, software has become a critical part of every single bit of infrastructure running the world, from the tiniest devices we embed in our bodies to improve our health, to the biggest human creations. Software is the key to accessing all the digital information we're constantly creating, and therefore is an essential part of our cultural heritage. But software is just a bunch of bits. Unlike antique stone carvings, software gets lost, deleted, or corrupted.
Software Heritage has set out to build the biggest archive of free software ever conceived. Our mission is to collect, preserve, organise and facilitate the sharing of all the available free software. We are laying down foundations on which a wealth of applications can be built, ranging from cultural heritage, to research and industry.
We started working in May 2015, and (as of April 2016) we have archived 2.2 billion unique files, more than 480 million project revisions across more than 16 million data sources, among which Debian source packages from snapshot.debian.org, public GitHub repositories, and the GNU project's FTP archive.
This presentation will cover in more detail the why and the how of Software Heritage, as well as opportunities for the community to help us fulfill our goals.

Computers changed over the last 20 years, from friendly machines we could understand, control and improve upon to black-boxed prisons designed at controlling us. How come we are now an increasing number to *hate* these machines, when we remember a past in which we used to passionately love them?
From mobile computers (aka "smartphones") containing black-boxed baseband processors enabling remote control, and kicking the user away from properly owning his device, to generalized Intel CPUs and their "Management Engine" providing also a way for "real masters" of our machines to monitor and control all we do online, the age of the technological optimism is long gone. It is almost impossible today to buy a computer that isn't designed and built as an enemy of its user.
This shift of modern computing towards "enemy machines" has a profound impact on geopolitics (think "Trump's NSA"), on power relationships (think "We know what you did online for the last 15 years") but also on our humanities and the way we relate to each other: If I cannot understand how a machine works, how will I ever improve it? How will I ever have a chance to participate in a society run by such black boxes?
This open discussion will offer an attempt at a narrative to help us (re)frame the issues surrounding Free/Libre software, and the way we participate in these projects. From a purely technological perspective to a holistic vision based on understanding the ways we interact with each other, at large.

Fra 2010 vil vi også nå ut på kabel (Get og Canal Digital) via satellitt. Frikanalen er organisert som en forening der NUUG er medlem. Vi i frikanalen tror dette sammen med NUUG sin nett-satsning vil være avgjørende for å trekke yngre og mer kreative frivillige miljøer til kanalen. I dag er det i hovedsak de som hadde innhold, men ingen riksdekkende kanal å sende på, som bruker kanalen, altså de religiøse. Frikanalen er som en "youtube på TV". En 100% nettstyrt TV kanal der produsentene selv tar redaktøransvar, laster opp og legger video på sendeplanen. Vi håper at dette verktøyet med et utvidet nedslagsfelt vil medføre at flere blir produsenter og at mangfoldet med det øker. For å lykkes må verktøyet bli 100% tilgjengelig. Da kan vi ikke nøye oss med silverlight-løsningen vi har i dag, men satse videre på åpne standarder sammen med NUUG.https://frikanalen.no/video/623982/3829Meet MariaDB 10.2 - Debconf 16New MariaDB major release is out of the door.

Here in the real world, however, many of us struggle to get by with the increasingly closed platforms that define our digital life. In this talk, we discuss how to combat closed technology with open technology, through the supernerdy activity of reverse engineering.g is just a fancy name for taking things apart to understand how they work. We demonstrate how this can be done to closed-source software running on various different platforms.
As part of our demonstration, we cover a handful of topics relevant for the intrepid hacktivist who wants to survive in the age of gated communities:
* investigative capabilities available on closed mobile platforms (focus on Android and IOS)
* trends in application sandboxing and digital rights management
* gotchas of interoperating with proprietary protocols
We’ll approach these topics through a series of adventures on the console, alongside our favourite traveling companion: Frida. She’s an awesome (libre!) tool for inject JavaScript to explore native apps on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX.
The examples throughout the talk may be somewhat technical, but taken from everyday examples most of the audience should be able to relate to. Even if programming and reverse engineering is not your thing, you still risk learning something by showing up.

TED talk downloaded from The Internet Archive.https://frikanalen.no/video/625484/886Software Piracy and Linux AdoptationThe open-source software operating system Linux is a
free-of-charge substitute to proprietary systems like Microsoft
Windows. By using a cross-country data set, this paper finds evidence
that increased piracy of proprietary software has a negative impact
on adoption of desktop versions of Linux. The interpretation of this
result is that the availability of pirated versions of Windows, as
well as pirated applications compatible with Windows and OS-X, lead
to fewer individuals installing a Linux operating system on their
desktop computers. Thus, in the absence of software piracy, Linux
would be a more widely used operating system.

TED talk downloaded from The Internet Archive.https://frikanalen.no/video/625337/1008The Supreme Court of DFSG-Free? - Debconf 16There is no Free Software project in the world with Debian's commitment to representative governance. Debian has a Constitution, recall and referendum ballot initiatives, and accountable, elected bodies. However, any representative system, no matter how well structured, has its gaps that can be exploited politically.
In this talk, I will first confess how I once used such a gap in the licensing approval process as part of package uploads to successfully reach political aims outside of Debian. I will explain how and why I did it, and why it was possible. While at the time, I was glad the system could be slightly "gamed", in hindsight, I'd like to draw the Debian's community attention this gap open for political opportunists and discuss changes in the political structure to prevent similar political exploitation in future.
Ultimately, Debian ftp-masters fully control, absent a specific General Resolution, interpretation of the DFSG. While, technically speaking, no specific package upload refusal nor approval sets any overarching Debian policy on a particular license, the ftp-masters' decisions do become a de-facto precedence-based system, much like a common-law Court system, since overturning such decisions would typically require a General Resolution in practice.
This talk will explore the socio-political ramifications of the current system of licensing decision-making in Debian, pontificate on ways it can be improved (and why it should be), and seek audience participation on whether the analysis presented is accurate and/or if the outcome of that analysis warrants changes in the existing system.
